Royal Navy Motor Gun Boat Manual

The centrepiece of this manual is MGB 81, a combat veteran that saw repeated action between 1942 and 1945 in the North Sea and English Channel, including on D-Day. Her fighting career, restoration and recent refit are all covered in this fascinating insight into the only operational example of a Royal Navy MGB.

In timpul celui de-al Doilea Razboi Mondial, flotilele Marinei Regale de barci mici, rapide si puternic armate (MGB) au fost privite ca „Spitfires of the Seas”. Operand de la bazele portuare din jurul coastelor de sud si de est ale Angliei, echipajele Fortelor de coasta RN ar fi plecat sub acoperirea intunericului pentru a cauta probleme cu transportul maritim german in Canalul Marii si Marea Nordului.
